One page, ready to fill in.

  • A table with columns for student, 7 score columns and avg

Who it's for

Teachers who want a paper gradebook alongside the school system, tutors tracking several students, homeschool parents keeping records, and coaches recording test results.

How to use it

Getting the most from a gradebook.

  1. Write the assignment and date above each column

    Short headings like "Quiz 3 – 12/10" make it easy to see what each score was for when report time comes.

  2. Note the total possible score

    Write "/20" or "/100" under each heading. Averages only make sense when you know what each score was out of.

  3. Keep the same student order everywhere

    Use the same order as your roster and attendance sheet so you can move between them quickly.

  4. Use a symbol for missing work

    M for missing, Ex for excused. Leaving a box blank can mean either, and you'll forget which by the end of term.

  5. Use a new page each unit or term

    Seven columns covers a unit or a short term. Starting a new page keeps it readable.

  6. Look for gaps, not just averages

    Scan down each column after marking. If most of the class struggled with one assignment, the lesson may need reteaching. If one student's scores dropped suddenly, it's worth a quiet conversation.
